1st time Subie owner here and this is my 2nd day in my Onyx XT. The miles to empty shows 160 miles but the tank is 98% full per the gauge. The app shows the same numbers. The Average MPG is way off too. I know how to reset the trip counter, but do I need to reset the range? If so, how?
Has anyone seen this? My last SUV was a '16 Range Rove
r Sport SVR which was a beast but nightmare to own. I hope this works itself out. Any input would be appreciated.
The car has probably done a lot of sitting and idling at the dealer before you picked it up for website pictures, etc. Once you continue actually driving the gas and not just idling the average MPG and the distance to empty will adjust accordingly.
Like Ktiemann said above, don't worry about mileage during the first tank of gas.
Also, the mileage figures are very inaccurate when you first reset the trip counter. This is because the mileage is calculated with fuel used and distance traveled since the counter was reset, in the beginning, small changes to either can have huge swings in mpg calculations.
I reset my trip counter every fill up, so it is always fun to see mpg numbers in the 60mpg range when coasting on a flat road at 45m/h.

I just posted a pic of our dogs on another thread about the pet divider...and thought that this would be a great place for all of us Subaru owners with dogs to post our pics of them. So here is our three dogmegos. The white and the tan ones are Havanese and the black one is a Lowchen. As for...

After a lengthy.... lengthy 16 year run of owning nothing but jeeps, I purchased a '18 OB 2.5 limited in May 2018. after months and months of homework I decided on a Subaru based solely on reliability, gas mileage and the amount of space it had. being an SUV owner for...
